Lena-s Patent No; 88,115, 'dated Mmh 23, 1869.

n WPROvEMENT IN MILKNG-STOOLS.

Tho Schedule refen'edto in these Letters Patent and making part of the me To all whom it lina/y concern;

Be it known ythat I, IRA BARRows, of Hermon, in' the county of4 St. Lawrence, in the State of New York,

have invented .a new and useful Improvement in Milking-Stools; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making part of this specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in milkingstools; and

It consists in the construction, and in the combination and arrangement of the parts'of which it is composed.

The drawing represents, in perspective, a view of my improved stool, in which A is the seat, which is mounted upon legs a, a, and c, which are to be of the required length to elevate the person to the proper height, and also to permit the arm b, tov which the pail-holder is attached, to be secured at the' proper elevation to the b represents an arm, or bar, which, as above suggested, is secured to the leg c of the stool, and is held in the proper position by means cfa pin, f, which passes through such leg.

d represents a disk of wood, which is to be secured to the outer end of arm b, and is to have such an inclination forward or outward as will give to the pail, when placed thereon, the proper position to receive the milk as it comes from thc teat of the animal.

bottom, a ring may b e formed upon the upper surface of such disk, or that pins may he'inserted therein for the same purpose. i

e represents a leg, o r support, which is secured to the outer end of the bar, and under the disk, for supporting the same when in use. n

The arm b, disk d, 'and leg e, are so arranged, that, when not in use for milking, they may b e swung around upon post, or leg c, until they are brought directly under the seat A of the stool, and in this form it may be used for any purpose for which ordinary stools are used.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination and arrangement of the seat A, leg c. arm b, and disk d, substantially as. shown and described.
